Hervey Bay again, this time the artistry of the sea, creating ripple patterns very different from those at Potato Point. The late afternoon light accentuates the patterns with shadows and casts a glow over the intricate plaiting and weaving of the sand. The only drawback is the thick layer of smoke along the horizon, although it’s probably responsible for the vividness of the light.
This is my contribution to DesleyJane’s weekly RegularRandom challenge. For a spectacular sunrise and links to the way other photographers spend five minutes of their lives have a look here.

I notice in the comments this was after a long drive. I bet it was soothing and calming to go out there and take these. Beautifully serene Meg.

Exactly. What I would’ve missed if I’d succumbed to fatigue after a very long drive! A good life lesson, especially for this slug-a-bed!

Late afternoon is my favourite time for beautiful light.

Indeed. As the days get longer, I’ll make a point of daybreak and sunset.

Are there fires burning nearby then, to cause the smoke? Surely, wrong time of year! 😦 I love the squirly ripples. 🙂

Winter burning off ended here on Thursday. This was in July near Fraser Island – preventative burns. Hugs with the sound of the sea and the remains of a warmish day.

Braided stream patterns at the beach are always my favorite to look at and take photos of. The light in these pictures is really gorgeous.
